City Elections Could Be Cancelled

It's a city plagued by controversy, and this isn't the first time election procedures have been questioned.

Monday Alachua City officials announced all three commission candidate challengers are ineligible to run.

The controversy hinges on paper work technicalities. Alahcua city officials claim Charles Grapski and Lowell "Bud" Byrd both did not sign an important qualifying paper. WCJB received the questioned papers from Alachua officials. They papers they gave us appear to be unsigned, but Grapski says that's just not possible. Alachua officials say the third contender, Michael Perkins, failed to turn in that same form.
